So many couples got engaged over the holidays - congratulations!
Now what????
Should your first step be to pick a date, pick a venue, find a priest, get the gown? Seems like everything needs to be done at once! Well, not really.
Your first stop should be choosing a wedding planner. Now, I know what you're thinking - your budget doesn't allow for that "luxury" and you can go online to find all the vendors you'll need. Actually, a wedding planner will help you to afford the wedding of your dreams and also will get you the best vendors for your vision. AND will eliminate most of the wedding stress!
So, now you've decided to find a wedding planner. Once you make your appointments, you need to do some prep work for the initial meetings. Come armed with some questions about the planner's education, experiences, vendor referral policy. Ask about how they work with family members and the bridal party, how much time is included in their package, what timelines they actually prepare for you, how she works with vendors she hadn't recommended. You need to be comfortable that the planner has the experience to do a good job for you AND that you "click" with her. After all, you will be spending a lot of time together!
Once you've hired your planner, together the three of you will conquer the wedding planning world!
Until next time, happy planning...
